Awards. These awards are offered toprofessionals, artists, and people from academics at any career level. However, some awards maybe for certain types of scholars and are limited to specific career levels. In general, some awardsallow you to select the country and/or host institution while others do not permit that. Similarly,some awards require you to have a letter of support from the host institution at the time ofapplication. For the Fulbright Scholar award, there are three different categories: Teaching,Research, and Teaching-Research. The research award consists of activities related to research thatincludes scientific research, practice-based research, etc. The research work can be applied andcan take place in a laboratory, field, or an

objective of the educators to keep the courses accessible to engineeringmajors of any stripe (e.g. electrical, mechanical, biomedical, general, etc.) possessing theappropriate prerequisites. Energy is, at its best, a naturally interdisciplinary subject, though thereare pedagogical challenges inherent with teaching to such a broad audience. Another challenge isthe introduction of appropriate computational tools in the courses, which is the subject of thispaper.

This course consists oftwo hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Students have had courses inelectrical circuit analysis, electrical machines, and analog and digital electronics before takingthis course. The first three weeks of the fifteen-week semester are devoted primarily toLabVIEW programming. During the next eight weeks, the concepts and integration of sensorsand actuators, interface electronics, and data acquisition and instrument control hardware/software are covered. The final four weeks are dedicated to student-initiated laboratory designprojects3-6. This paper

Generally, curricular design could be grouped into three areas:laboratory design, course design, and program design. Articles on laboratory and course designfocused on many of the same critical issues. This is not surprising in science oriented programswhere many laboratories are treated as separate courses. The major issues revealed were aconcentrated effort to move class instruction from a highly theoretical component

CurriculumENGS115:- Introduction of EngineeringThis course is organized around a semester-long design project. The emphasis is onengineering problem solving methodologies and computational techniques. Basicengineering concepts and analyses related to the design project are discussed on a need-to-know basis. The course includes five hands-on laboratory sessions; site visits to localengineering firms and manufacturing plants; ethics and professional responsibilities; andeconomic concerns associated with the engineering design process.
